Eli5: the lens of your eye flips the image of what is happening in front of you and displays it on your retina, then your brain “flips” it again for you to perceive. What is the brain doing for that second flip?

you know, that you only see 30% of what you are seeing clear and your eye jumps around to interesting parts of the scene. it is all combined inside your brain so it will not be souch a great thing to group it upside down to make it logical for your brain.
btw, there exist glasses that can turn your vision upside down and if you wear them a few days, your brain will turn your vision again and if you get rid of them, your brian will do it again.
It adapts your perception of the world into something more easily understandable. I was going to bring up the study where they inverted the image projected on the retina for a group of people (upside-down goggles), but someone already beat me to it.
